Richard Brune seems like an encyclopedia of knowledge. I'm glad his son also became a luthier. I hope all the luthiers here who have kids end up passing down their skills and inspiring a perpetuation of the craft.
RE: Brune and Brune on String Length (in reply to rombsix)
They are like the Click n Clack of the guitar Luthery world!

I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy, doesn't have to be fast, should have some meat on the bones, can be raw or well done, as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.
great video! Yes those two are a lot of fun. Wish I get a chance to hang in their guitar museum again someday. About the short scale guitar, well, now I have the Batman Faulk I can beg to differ . Picado works great on this thing. The issue about moving back toward the bridge for tension is only related to ACTION again (pulsation ). Lower action I have no choice but to get close to the bridge or the string can't reset fast enough. Raise the saddle and things are normal. Sanchis is 660 but I have to get close due to action, where as not the case with the 650 Conde or the 630 Faulk.
Now there is something to be said for the longer scale though which is there is more ROOM to play there. In other words that sweet spot has a bigger target zone on the long scale so I don't have to get AS close to the bridge as the shorter guitars. Or put another way, the tone does not change so drastically if I do move around in the middle position. You have to move really far to get that change of tone in other words because there is so much more space between bridge and sound hole. My 670 has a baby 19th fret, likely an error from the drawing board as to the sound hole placement.
